Auto to manual swap. Do i need to grind the crank?

[Dubluva]

Just wanted some quick clarification because I'm a little confused.
I'm swapping an ATW from a 2000 automatic A4 into a 99.5 A4 using a 99 Passat b5 manual tranny.
Do I need to grind the end of the crank and fit a pilot bearing? If so where exactly do I need to grind?
Thanks for any info.

u can get a custom pilot bearing made cost me 100$ but worth it
Take the tc bushing out and put in the bearing should be 24mm od and the id is 15mm and i went with 14 mm length but do u own measurements.
I sould have my car done in two week and I let u know how it goes.
